Mahathir must explain withdrawal over Batu Puteh, says Apandi


PETALING JAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad must explain why he unilaterally withdrew Malaysia’s bid to overturn the International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s 2008 ruling on Batu Puteh, said former attorney-general (AG) Tan Sri Apandi Ali.

In a Facebook post, Apandi said the decision was made in May 2018, just two weeks before the case review was set to be heard at the ICJ in The Hague.
